Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad Department of ⟦Census⟧ 3531 5452 Number: 51/1985 Date: 18/6/1951 (Secret and Urgent) Subject: The Shrine of our Master Ezra (PBUH) His Excellency the Minister of Interior, Respected. After greetings, The Jewish community in Iraq has a number of shrines of prophets, among them the shrine of our master Ezra, peace be upon him, located in the village of Al-Azair in the Amara Governorate. Members of this community visit it on certain days of the year to visit the noble prophetic shrine for its blessing. An agent has been appointed on behalf of this community along with a number of servants to perform the necessary religious ceremonies such as lighting the shrine, praying, and cleaning the prophetic presence... etc. This shrine has seen all the necessary preservation and complete freedom by the government authorities for hundreds of years, whether during the Ottoman rule or the esteemed Iraqi government, and it has never happened that anyone violated its sanctity or sought to seize it by force. In view of the travel of the previous agent outside Iraq, the presidency of this community has appointed Mr. Salman Sayoun Heskel Mureidakh as a new agent to perform religious duties according to its letter No. 51/1954 dated 30/5/1951. Indeed, the mentioned agent traveled to Al-Azair and began practicing his duties as of 1/6/1951, assisted by the servant named Za'lan Al-Sayyah. Since the mentioned agent took up his position at the shrine of our master Ezra, peace be upon him, someone appeared to oppose him in performing it, as the person named Mahmoud Al-Hilu confronted him on 6/6/1951 inside the prophetic presence with various types of slander, insults, and humiliation, demanding that he leave the noble shrine. Our agent went to Qal'at Saleh to complain to its district governor, and since His Excellency the district governor was not present, he submitted the mentioned complaint to the editorial clerk. It appears to us that no action was taken regarding the mentioned complaint. Given these circumstances, our agent was forced to travel, leaving the shrine of our master Ezra, peace be upon him, under the guard of the servant Za'lan Al-Sayyah. In the period between 6/6/1951 and the 14th of it, Mahmoud Al-Hilu continued to oppose this servant in his performance of cleaning and lighting the noble shrine until 14/6/1951 arrived, when he assaulted the mentioned servant by beating him, breaking the door and the oil lamps used for lighting. When the servant went to the Al-Azair police station to complain, the station officer refused to register the complaint and responded to the servant with a beating more severe than what he received from the aggressor. When he tried to travel to the district of Qal'at Saleh, the mentioned officer prevented him by force, so he was forced to flee to Baghdad, presenting this situation to us. Your Excellency, It has never happened in the history of the Jewish community in Iraq that its holy prophetic shrines were exposed at any time to such an assault that took place under the hearing and sight of the government authorities in the village of Al-Azair.

Greetings, The Israelite community in Iraq has a number of shrines of prophets, among which is the shrine of our Master Ezra, peace be upon him, located in the village of Al-Uzair in the Amarah Governorate; members of this community frequent it on certain days of the year to visit the noble prophetic shrine for its blessing; and a number of servants have been entrusted with the shrine of this community to perform the necessary religious ceremonies such as lighting the lamps, performing prayers, and cleaning the enlightened presence.... etc. This shrine has seen all the necessary preservation and complete protection by the government authorities for hundreds of years, whether during the time of Ottoman rule or the esteemed Iraqi government, and it has never happened that anyone violated its sanctity or sought to seize it once. In view of the travel of the previous agent outside Iraq, the leadership of this community has appointed Mr. Salman Sayoun Hazqeel Mureedakh as a new agent to perform religious duties according to its letter No. 1154/51 dated 20/5/951, and the mentioned agent traveled to Al-Uzair and began practicing his duties as of 1/6/951, assisted by the servant named Zalan Al-Sayyah. Since the mentioned agent took up his position in the shrine of our Master Ezra, peace be upon him, someone appeared to oppose him in its performance, as the person called Hamid Al-Tubsar on 6/6/951 entered inside the prophetic presence with various types of slander, insults, and humiliation, demanding that he leave the noble shrine; so our agent went to Qal'at Saleh complaining to its district governor, and since this district governor was not present, he submitted the mentioned complaint to the clerk of the record. It appears to us that the mentioned complaint was not acted upon by any measure. Given these circumstances, our agent was forced to travel, leaving the shrine of our Master Ezra, peace be upon him, under the guard of the servant Zalan Al-Sayyah. In the period between 6/6/951 and the 14th of it, Hamid Al-Tubsar continued to ⟦harass⟧ this servant in his performance of cleaning and lighting the noble shrine until 14/6/951 arrived, when he assaulted the mentioned servant by beating him and breaking the door and the oil lamps used for lighting. When the servant went to the Al-Uzair police station to complain, the station officer refused to register the complaint and answered the servant that he had taken what he had from the aggressor, and when he tried to travel to Qal'at Saleh, the mentioned officer prevented him by saying ⟦so⟧, he was forced to flee to Baghdad, informing us of this situation. Your Excellency, It has never happened in the history of the Israelite community in Iraq that its holy prophetic shrines were exposed at any time to such an assault that took place under the hearing and sight of the government authorities in the village of Al-Uzair.

6985 1951/7/18 House Copy From the Director's Copy (A) His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Interior Greetings, The Israelite community in Iraq has a number of shrines of the prophets, including the shrine of our master Ezra, peace be upon him, located in the Amara Governorate. Members of this community have been accustomed to making annual visits to visit the noble prophetic shrine to seek blessings from it. A number of servants have been appointed on behalf of this community to perform the necessary religious ceremonies in lighting the shrine and offering prayers in the prophetic presence . . . This shrine has received all necessary assistance and complete freedom from the government authorities for hundreds of years, whether during the time of Ottoman rule or the esteemed Iraqi government, and it has never happened that anyone violated its sanctity or looted the artifacts deposited therein. In view of the death of the previous agent of Ezra's Khan, the leadership of this community has appointed Mr. Salman Sion Sassoon as a new agent to perform religious ceremonies according to its letter No. 57/1951 dated 1951/5/30, and assigned the aforementioned to the shrine, and he began practicing his duties as of 1951/6/1, assisted by the servant named Yaman al-Sayl. Since the aforementioned agent took up his position in the shrine of our master Ezra, peace be upon him, someone appeared to oppose him in their management, as the person named Hamid al-Hilu confronted him on 1951/6/6 inside the prophetic presence with various types of slander and insults and insulted him, demanding that he leave the noble shrine. Our agent went to Qal'at Saleh to complain to its District Governor, and since His Excellency the District Governor was not present, he submitted the aforementioned complaint to the Director's clerk. Despite the fact that the aforementioned complaint was not acted upon. Due to these circumstances, our agent was forced to travel, leaving the shrine of our master Ezra under the commitment and guard service of the servant Yaman al-Sayl. In the period between 1951/6/6 and the 14th of it, Hamid al-Hilu continued to oppose this servant in his performance of cleaning and lighting the noble shrine until 1951/6/14 arrived, when he assaulted the aforementioned servant by beating him and breaking the door and the oil lamps hanging for lighting. When the servant went to the Ezra police station to complain, the station did not register the complaint and answered the servant that he had no discipline from the soldiers and that he tried to travel to Qal'at Saleh to the District Governor who, despite the repeated complaints he submitted, did not take any path for us in this situation. Your Excellency, It has never happened in the history of the Israelite community in Iraq that such blatant acts of aggression occurred at any time like this aggression that took place within the hearing and sight of the government authorities in the Amara Governorate.
( 2 ) And since the honorable Prophet's Birthday site of our master Al-Khidr, peace be upon him, has remained without an officer or agent to manage it from the leadership of this community, and the person named Said Al-Mamluk took control of it after the dismissal of the servant and agent, we have come to Your Excellency in the name of these loyal Muslims, for whom the Israelite community was the guardian of its honorable structure and under the guardianship of its notables (R.A.) morally and materially for hundreds of years, hoping for the favor of issuing your orders to the competent authorities in the Amara Brigade to annul the contract concluded with the aforementioned person and to remove him from the Prophet's Birthday site of our master Al-Khidr, peace be upon him, if he has seized it, and that the leadership of the community decides, in agreement with the aforementioned Prophet's Birthday site, to enable our agent and representative to manage the customary religious ceremonies. In conclusion, Your Excellency, please accept our highest respect. ⟦illegible⟧ On behalf of the Head of the Israelite Community Vice President of the Physical Council A copy of it to: 1. His Excellency the Minister of Justice, for his kind review. 2. His Excellency the Director of General Affairs, for his kind review and for the favor of issuing your orders to the authority of the Amara Brigade to annul the contract concluded with the person named Said Al-Mamluk, who seized it after the dismissal of the servant and agent, for we have come to Your Excellency regarding this aforementioned person and his removal from the Prophet's Birthday site of our master Al-Khidr, peace be upon him, the management of the customary religious ceremonies established by the leadership of this community. 3. His Excellency the Governor of the Amara Brigade, for his kind review. 4. His Excellency the Director of Amara Police, for his kind review. 5. His Excellency the District Officer of Ali Al-Gharbi District, for his kind review.

To help un- successful candidates to assess their future prospects Grades 7 to 9 are so arranged that 7 indicates that the margin of failure was narrow, 8 that the margin was wider and 9 that the candidate did not obtain more than about one-third of the marks for the subject as a whole. An O in the Grade column indicates that a candidate was entered for the subject but has been marked 'A B S E N T'. In French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian, two columns of grades are given. The left-hand one represents the result obtained in the subject as a whole, including the oral test, and the second the result in the oral examination on its own. There are four oral grades also arranged in descending order of merit; Grades 1, 2 and 3 are pass grades and Grade 4 indicates a failure. Failure in the oral test does not necessarily indicate failure in the subject as a whole.

Notes This document contains information which is sent out in advance of the issue of Certificates, and while every effort has been made to ensure that the contents are accurate, the University reserves the right to make corrections. It is not a Certificate, and must not be regarded as such. The results overleaf are indicated by grades which are to be interpreted as follows: Grades 1 to 6 are grades of pass arranged in descending order of merit from Grade 1; Grades 7 to 9 are grades of failure similarly arranged. To help un- successful candidates to assess their future prospects Grades 7 to 9 are so arranged that 7 indicates that the margin of failure was narrow, 8 that the margin was wider and 9 that the candidate did not obtain more than about one-third of the marks for the subject as a whole. An O in the Grade column indicates that a candidate was entered for the subject but has been marked 'A B S E N T'. If a candidate has failed in a subject because of poor English or inferior presentation of the work, a separate notification to this effect will be sent. No further information about performance in the examination will be supplied by the University. The decisions of the Examiners, which have been reached after the most careful consideration, are final. SPECIAL CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE AWARD OF CERTIFICATES IN CERTAIN AREAS Private Candidates sitting for the examination in Aden, Argentina, Kenya, Mauritius, Somali Republic, Tanganyika and Zanzibar are required to pass in a prescribed minimum number of subjects in order to qualify for the award of a certificate. If you are one of these candidates and have not qualified for a certificate the word 'FAILED' will appear in the space immediately below your Candidate Number. If there is nothing in the space it indicates that you have qualified for a certificate. If, however, you possess one of the necessary exempting qualifications and are eligible for a certificate in respect of any subjects passed, the word 'FAILED' will not appear even if you have not passed in any subjects. Only subjects in which you have obtained Grades 1 to 6 (inclusive) will appear on the certificate, if you have qualified for one. In areas where a satis- factory standard of attainment, which may be below the normal pass grades, is accepted in English Language, this subject will not appear on the certificate unless Grade 6 or a better Grade has been obtained in it. Certificates Certificates for successful candidates will be sent to the Overseas Authority for distribution as soon as possible after the publication of these results. Candidates who have passed in subjects at both levels will receive two certificates, one for Ordinary level subjects and another for Advanced.
